February 3, 20169 yr In theory, what would happen if you swapped injector connections over via the loom eg swapping injector #2 for injector #4 on the wiring/ecu side? is it detrimental? will it affect performance? could it blow an engine? The only reason im asking this is on my 8s ecu the pinouts are in different places and the injectors connect but according to the diagram; its all screwed up injector 4 Injector 3 COILPACK (looking a the engine from the top) injector 2 Injector 1
February 3, 20169 yr as above, i expect it would run like a bag of spanners and worse case take out the engine
February 3, 20169 yr You'd be better off buying the correct second hand ecu for your version for about £ 40 off a breaker If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
February 3, 20169 yr Author it has the original ecu (according to the previous owner) in it, it just doesn't all plug in how it should according to the 1998 wiring diagram, thats whats worrying me (looking on google it seems 8s is the ecu for a 1998 right ;/) an example is: the yellow/red common wire in all the injector plugs is meant to connect to pin 1 but it connects to pin 4, swapping with the pin of the ignition coil :/ how could i solve this issue? (phoned the previous owner and he insisted that i was "worrying too much and its a standard loom with standard ecu"
February 3, 20169 yr I think the 8s ecu is a uk version Is yours a v3/v4 uk car ? Cos if yours is a jdm there's a few differences in pins Cam ,crank and possibly a fuel pump wire (to do with the UK having a imoblizer ) But if you've got the standard loom the standard ecu should be plug n play If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

According to the book, I'm gonna go out with my muktimeter and try figure this out!! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

February 4, 20169 yr Trust me I've made a few mistakes along the Way [emoji57] But a man who has never made mistakes has probably never really made anything [emoji6] How close are you to firing it up ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

February 4, 20169 yr Shame your not closer ,i've probably got some[emoji57] if you phone luke @ ipc first thing you'll have em by lunchtime tomorrow 😉 Oh make sure you use genuine upipe gaskets cos it will blow like a cheap hoe otherwise If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

February 5, 20169 yr I'll take a pic of my can for you mate as sav won't have it installed weighs too much [emoji51]
February 5, 20169 yr In this pic of the top of the canister the big bore red pipe is the same one on the boost control bracket (in my earlier pic) The middle black vac pipe ( that has a 1 way grey plastic valve in) goes to the clostest vapour hardline ( metal pipes attached to the fuel rails) The other small bore red pipe goes to the furthest away from the canister hard line . Hope that makes sense lol If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
